[VRAM in Greater Sydney area - P3Dv5.3]

Hi Ian

 

Yes my VRAM usage is 7GB out of 11GB, using the A2A 180 Cherokee.

Have you tried reinstalling just the P3D client?

[corrupt Terrain.cfg File]

Hi Tom

 

Maybe first open Orbx Central and go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function.

[Elevation Issues]

I just did a flight from W04 to KELN and only found near perfection at both.

 

Also paid a visit to KTNP and all is well, image below.

 

Another thought....for the airports that are not correct for you, maybe do a search of your entire system for example without the quotes "KTNP.bgl" and see if it will locate more than just the default or Orbx files. 

 

 

[Elevation Issues]

No worries, and no you are not monopolizing my time.  I am on vacation from my day job and just at home enjoying hanging out with you guys.

 

I would like to see those three files again tho please (“scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml”).

 

We can be in same boat, because I am feeling a bit brain dead myself wondering what is going on lol. I did consider you may be an escapee but soon we will find out that would be me hahaha. 

 

I just did a new full uninstall and reinstall of P3Dv5.3, only because I didn't want to do just the hot fix.

I am sitting at KSPS right now and see no floating aircraft or anything, KSPS is looking perfect on my end, and I will do some checking on those other airports you are using as a test.

 

As far as floating buildings and sometimes floating aircraft are known as a normal phenomenon that can usually be cleared up by just doing a scenery refresh, such as going to the in game scenery library and clicking on OK to let it rebuild.  I somehow seem to think it's based on memory or video memory and something to do with the simulator not calling those objects at the correct time, or them not being available at the correct time.

 

You have a very nice system indeed, we don't have to worry about that or old style mechanical hard drives.

 

Just to confirm...you do have your mesh resolution setting in P3D at 5m, correct?

Hi 

 

Please start your own new topic with more detail specific to you.

 

This thread has already been marked as solved and your issue deserves its own new topic.

[Elevation Issues]

Ok, so no, there is no disadvantage in leaving all the Orbx scenery files checked, other than loading time.

 

So now lets delete the “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

 

Restart the simulator to rebuild them, then shut down the simulator.

 

Then open Orbx Central and go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function.

 

Then do a verify files of the Orbx Libraries, and Orbx ObjectFlow, 

 

Then have another look at the sim.

Hi

 

I haven't checked this specific location, but might be worth trying the process in the below topic.

Thanks

 

Also, screenshots from outside the aircraft allow us to see the issue much better.

[PC change without desinstalling Orbx products]

Hi

 

Yes you will be able to reinstall.

[Land in the Ocean / FL]

Hi

 

All of the default base layers are mandatory for the simulator do display scenery. below is the list.

 

There are actually 32 default named layers, that yes, could be unchecked\deactivated for various reasons, but could also cause anomalies. The below images are from your above posted scenery.cfg.

[ENHF Snow colour problem]

Hi, welcome to the forums

 

After you disabled your shader addons, did you delete the shaders folder and let the sim rebuild a new set on a restart of the sim?

[Land in the Ocean / FL]

Hi

 

I see you have the majority of your default numbered scenery items unchecked\deactivated in your scenery library. These are mandatory and will need to be checked\activated in order for your scenery to display properly.

 

You will also need to check\activate all the default named scenery items as well.

[Land in the Ocean / FL]

Hi

 

Please post a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

[Elevation Issues]

Thanks Chelsea and no worries.

 

My next thought is I noticed you have six different libraries for P3Dv5 on two different drives (listed below). Is this really necessary? I wonder if all these paths are working correctly?

 

Would it be possible to reinstall you Orbx stuff all in one library? It is also very confusing with all the different but similar Library Titles and paths.

 

Because my next recommendation would be to do a verify files of all your Orbx products or at least Global base, Vector, all the Open LC products, and all the Regions, so it would be nice if they were all being read from the same library location. Maybe Orbx Central or the simulator is getting confused also lol?

Ok thanks

 

Please confirm you have moved Objectflow from the C:\users file structure.

 

Then, lets delete the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

 

Then restart the sim to have them rebuilt.

 

Then open Orbx Central and go to settings\help and run the sync simulator function.

 

Then close Orbx Central and retest the sim for Objectflow installation.

[Orbx folder not recognised by P3Dv5.3.]

Hi

 

Where is your Orbx ObjectFlow installed? If it is in the C:\users\name file structure, please uninstall from there and create a new library in a location outside the Windows file structure such as C:\Orbx...then reinstall it to the new location.

 

Also be sure to run your PC and simulator as administrator.

[Elevation Issues]

Thanks Chelsea

 

I wish you could take screenshots from outside the airplane without the massive zoom factor, is that the nose of the aircraft protruding from the bottom of the picture?

 

I can still see very little in your screenshots, they are horrible to try and diagnose anything with. For the most part, all I can see is the nose of the aircraft, some tarmac and sky.

 

The only reason I asked if you tried the sim as a fresh default without anything added, is to verify that these issues are not being caused by a corrupt P3Dv5 install.

 

Then if all is well with the default install, you could start adding one by one to find the culprit.

 

I also see you have a library located at C:\Users\Chelsea\Orbx Main Library\p3dv5\.....I would uninstall the Orbx ObjectFlow and Global TerraFlora v2 from this location and create a new library that is not in the C:\Users\Chelsea\ file structure and then reinstall Orbx ObjectFlow and Global TerraFlora v2 to this new location. There have been many cases of Windows permission issues when using the C:\Users\ file structure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Elevation Issues]

Ya I don't know how you are accomplishing that, I can't replicate the elevation issues if I tried.

 

The CYYC screenshot didn't make it above, but I would like to see it.

 

So, Please post again a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

 

 

[P3Dv4.5 to 5.3]

Hi Jerry

 

Yes it will need its own install of products as P3Dv4 files are no longer compatible with P3Dv5.

[Elevation Issues]

Hi

 

My Nvidia settings are all at default, I don't do anything with them.

 

Please post again a copy of your “scenery.cfg” file and the “add-ons.cfg” and the “scenery_add-ons.xml” file found at C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5.

 

Also, KELN and W04 are default P3D airports, so have you had a look at them with just a clean install of P3Dv5 without anything added?

Hi Doug,

 

Just checking back.

 

In the Ticket Portal, this was assigned to Richard Lincoln over a week ago, and still no guidance/response. I am wondering if he's away, or ? 

 

I only wish someone gave me some feedback over there such as 'your request has been received, pls give us a few days to process .... etc.'

 

Thanks,

Milan ......

 

 

Hi Milan

 

I will ask him for you.

 

 

[P3Dv4.5 to 5.3]

Hi Jerry

 

Please restart your PC, and check Orbx Central again, the dropdown menu will appear where you see the Prepar3Dv4 in top middle.

[P3Dv4.5 to 5.3]

Hi Jerry

 

After you have installed P3Dv5.3, you will need to run it at least once up to the default flight, then close the sim.

Then open Orbx Central and select the sim from the drop down menu.

Then click on "My Products"

Only the products that are compatible with v5 that you own will show in the list.

You will then need to install them into a location of your choosing.

[Install failure in Orbx Central]

Hi, welcome to the forums

 

First please check that your antivirus has not quarantined the Central Worker.

 

Then you can go to settings\help and open the user guide and check in the troubleshooting section for steps regarding that error message.
